Deputation.
We would like to thank all the Pastors and Churches we were
able to visit on Deputation, during the past three months of
August, September and October. We traveled in California,
Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas -
over 11,800 miles during those three months. It was our
privilege to visit many Churches. Thank you for receiving
us and, a big "THANX" to those that took us on as
Partners-In-Missions - we greatly appreciate that!
In over 40 years as a missionary, it has meant a total
of more than 12 years of Deputation. That's a lot of time
and, it seems to be an inevitable part of being UPCI
missionaries. We would appreciate it, if some would
increase their monthly PIM commitment, especially those that
are committed for $25 or less - it sure would make a
difference! Thank you.
Revival in Mexico. In the last two
to three months, another landmark was set as two of our
Districts passed the 100 number of Licensed Ministers, and
those are; (1) the Central District (Mexico City) and;
(2) the Yucatαn District (State of Yucatαn, which includes
the city of Mιrida). We now have 27 Districts in all of
Mexico, each with it's own District Board, Supervisor
(District Superintendent) and Sections (with Presbyters).
We sense with excitement that 2009 will, again, be a year of
great growth - with all the reports of growth and blessing
that are coming in!
Central District Convention. We
just had our Central District Annual Convention here in
Mexico City, with an attendance of over 4,000. What
excitement! And, what a blessing! There were 238 that
received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and 8 baptized in
the Precious Name of Jesus. There also were many healings
and miracles. Two ladies got up out of wheelchairs and
walked - one walked straight to be baptized, and wouldn't
let anyone help her - completely healed! To God be the
glory!
The Central District only covers to Mexico City - a
city with over 22 million people. We now have over 80
Churches, over 5,500 baptized believers and over 103
Licensed Ministers (Pastors). Thus far this year 2009,
we've had over 2,100 baptized in the Precious Name of Jesus
in this city!
Our Bible School in Mexico City has had over 210
students this year of 2009. We look forward to more growth
in 2010. Also, we will be starting College level classes in
Christian Counseling and Christian Psychology - something
very new and challenging, but which will be very productive
and a blessing. Pray for a continued and greater revival!
Below are a couple of pictures of our Central
District Convention, this past weekend.
